We
are looking for a PhD student in cryo electron microscopy. Our laboratory (http://lbr.web.psi.ch/)
is working with a number of membrane proteins and in particular G protein
coupled receptors. The goal is to prepare stabilized membrane proteins in a
highly functional form and reconstitute them with lipids into two-dimensional
crystals for 2D crystallography strategies. The candidate will work in a very
experienced group at the Paul Scherrer Institute in
Please send a letter of interest and
a CV directly to Dr Ching-Ju Tsai ([log in to unmask]).
